From Library Journal

This study is part of a reference series which focuses on international education and social science. It consists of three main sections, an introduction by Ogbu, ten informative case studies of Korean, Sikh, Hispanic, Turkish, Korean, Mexican, and other students, and a summary by Gibson. All contributors are educational anthropologists and doctoral students. The purpose is to share insights on why some students are able to succeed in various educational settings, while others do not, and to encourage comparative research on minority and immigant education. The case studies are especially absorbing and revealing. This is an excellent resource for colleges and other libraries with a strong focus on social studies and education.
